You have to decide what is more important to you. Quite a few folks from my class finally pulled the trigger on the last bid to move to 190 Capt, the Bus FOs are all commuters and their main reason was they are simply tired flying with the moron “Captains” we have here, so they are willing to give up their QOL for that, the rest of the guys I know are all local guys, so it was a no brainer for them to upgrade.

From what I hear the 190 capts are getting used every day, constantly getting extended into days off... yes, they are breaking guarantee and getting extra $$ and tons of soft time. That’s all great if $$$ is important to you. Yes, reserve rules will get better, but reserve will also lose EPS pay and you will still be scheduling’s *****.

Each plane has pros and cons. You just have to ask yourself what is more important to you.
